12 years ago my nephew was diagnosed with Autism. But it was Dinosaurs that helped him communicate. His first word was "Dinosaur." Later, he learned every dinosaur name and period. It jump started the learning process for him. It is for this reason Dinosaurs will always be special to me. #sketchbook #dinosaur #diplodocus
